AMD XConnect™ ReadyNow it’s easier than ever to connect and use an external Radeon™ graphics card. With AMD XConnect™ technology, external GPU enclosures configured with Radeon™ Graphics can easily connect and disconnect to a compatible ultrathin notebook or 2-in-1 over Thunderbolt™ 31 at any time, just like a USB flash drive-a first for external GPUs!

AMD LiquidVR: Intuitive, Immersive, InteractiveAMD’s innovative LiquidVR™ technology enables beautifully rich and immersive VR experiences by simplifying VR content creation, unlocking many unique AMD hardware features designed to work seamlessly with headsets on compatible Radeon graphics cards. LiquidVR™ is dedicated to making VR experiences truly immersive by creating a sense of “presence” — a state of awareness where a virtual world seems so real, you’ll believe you are there.

Radeon™ FreeSync™ 2 TechnologyAMD FreeSync™ technology puts an end to choppy gameplay and broken frames with fluid, artifact-free, performance at virtually any framerate.

Radeon™ ChillA power-saving feature that dynamically regulates frame rate based on your in-game movements. Radeon™ Chill can improve power efficiency and can lower temperatures for supported products and games when enabled through Radeon™ Settings.

AMD App AccelerationAMD App Accelerator creates a “co-processing” environment in which the compute processing potential in your AMD Radeon™ Graphics processor works together with the system central processor, to accelerate enabled applications.

AMD PowerPlay™ TechnologyAMD PowerPlay™ Technology dynamically adjusts clock speeds in response to GPU load, saving power for just when you need it.

AMD PowerTune TechnologyMaximizes performance under load conditions by dynamically increasing the GPU engine clock to take advantage of unused TDP headroom. Also allows users to configure their own TDP limit, within a provided range, for even higher performance or more power efficiency.

FreeSync TechnologyAMD FreeSync™ technology puts an end to choppy gameplay and broken frames with fluid, artifact-free performance at virtually any framerate.

GCN ArchitectureA new design for AMD’s unified graphics processing and compute cores that allows them to achieve higher utilization for improved performance and efficiency.

UEFI SupportBetter security by helping protect the pre-startup—or pre-boot—process against bootkit attacks and faster startup times and resuming from hibernation.

Virtual Super ResolutionGet quality that rivals 4K, even on a 1080p display while playing your favourite online games thanks to AMD's VSR.

Vulkan™Next-generation API support for high-performance real-time graphics. Taking the best and brightest parts of Mantle to serve as its foundation, Vulkan™ is going to be one new and uniquely powerful graphics API.

AMD introduced the RX 500-series family of add-in graphics cards in April and May 2017. These cards are priced between Â£75 and &pounds;200 and therefore cover a large part of the mainstream graphics market. In this TekSpek we will take a closer look at the RX 560 GPU that retails from just &pounds;95.

Great Card - Easiest install ever!I bought this card to upgrade a rather old desktop pc that was struggling to manage gameplay.
The card was very easy to install, especially as it included its own power supply and fan, it literally just plugged in to the motherboard, which is quite an old one, but the card easily fit (the compatability was confirmed by the fantastic customer support at Scan before I purchased).
The software that supports is quick to install and takes you through step by step. It includes a great recording feature and I have used "ReLive" to successfully record events in game which then can be shared via YouTube, Twitch etc.
My main game is WoW, which now runs super smooth at max settings with smooth framerates. (could barely play past minimum settings before).
I have not had a chance to experience any VR capabilities of the card.
Highly recommend this card to anyone who is new to installing graphics cards wanting an easy to install card, and with a tight budget.
